I am a writing teacher and tutor with over twenty years of writing experience, working with students of all ages from elementary and middle school writers to high school, college, and adult learners. My professional writing career began at age sixteen, when I worked for a publishing company and its newspapers, giving me an early and practical foundation in clear, audience-focused writing. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I teach novel writing for adults in a classroom setting, guiding writers through idea development, structure, character, voice, and revision.
I also own a small business focused on communications, storytelling, and messaging, and I bring extensive experience in journalism and public-facing writing into my teaching. I understand how technology and artificial intelligence are shaping the current writing and creative landscape, and I recently completed a degree in cybersecurity. This allows me to help students thoughtfully and ethically incorporate technology and AI into their writing process while still developing strong foundational skills in clarity, analysis, and communication.
My strength lies in helping each writer identify the obstacles that are getting in the way of their progress and developing practical strategies to overcome them. I work closely with students to build confidence, strengthen their unique voice, and clearly capture the vision, story, and message they want to communicate. Whether a student is preparing college essays, developing a novel or long-form project, refining academic writing, or learning how to use technology and AI effectively as part of the writing process, I tailor each session to their individual goals and needs.
